Unpainted roughcast rendered walling, smooth rendered quoins, smooth rendered plinth. Square-headed window openings, stone sills, smooth rendered slightly-projecting reveals, painted timber one-over-one sliding sash windows. Square-headed door openings, painted timber vertically-sheeted doors with glazed panels.

Extensive single- and two-storey rubble stone outbuildings to west with slate roofs.
Appraisal
This long, narrow, house has a lop-sided appearance owing to the asymmetric positioning of the entrance porch. The bracketed roof eaves detailing is of interest and original fenestration has survived. The boundary wall coping and gate posts are also worthy of note. Extensive stone outbuildings are of some quality suggesting association with a large farm.
